With the Ravens already leading, 27-13, late in the third quarter, Bengals quarterback Andy Dalton dropped back and fired a pass to Jermaine Gresham. The ball grazed the fingers tips of the tight end. As has often been the case when a ball hangs up in the Baltimore air, Reed ran underneath it and got his hands on it.

Reed intercepted the ball at Cincinnati's 34-yard line and burst down the sideline for the touchdown.
